Question and analyse observation

What do you understand about what you observed? What did you find interesting or extraordinary? What learning is being demonstrated? What can you extend on? Suggest few experiences. What are the interests and strengths of child/ren observed? Link the information to EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes.

Plan
Learning Intention/s to achieve by the end of experience (one or two): For children to understand... For children to explore...For children to practice... etc.

Strategies: What strategies you might use to promote children's interest, play and learning? This might include interactions, resources, intentional teaching. You might include some examples of modelling, scaffolding or open ended questions. How will you encourage children to learn from each other? How will the environment support play and learning?

Act and Do (Implementation)
Implement your experience. Did you need to modify for any reason? Any emergent experiences that arose? Give specific examples of children's involvement. What learning processes have you observed the children using (problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, investigating...)?

Review and Reflect (Evaluation)
Review: With the learning aims and the EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes in mind, evaluate the learning and the planning. What worked well? What can you improve? Do you need to repeat, refine or extend the plan? How will you follow up?

Reflect: What did you learn about yourself and your practice as a teacher. Any changes to your practice as a result?

Video - Focused Observations Chapter 3 Video 6

Using the Documentation of Planning Cycle template part 1, write one observation by observing children in any of the videos below. Identify the extra-ordinary in the ordinary moments. Analyse the observation and link it to the EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes.

Using the Documentation of Planning Cycle template part 2, plan, implement and evaluate 1 experience in response to the observations taken.

Implement your planned experience with friends or family members. Complete the Documentation of Planning Cycle template
